one thing i learned as an ex-neuroscientist > the brain is use it or lose it Paul Graham thinks not reading or writing will become as normal as smoking once was I think he's right and it scares me a bit when did you last write something without AI?

hot take: linkedin cold outreach isn't that bad been trying it for a bit: > 7-8% reply rate > 3 new customers onboarded what's been working: > setup a professional profile > stop selling, open with a hello and start a real conversation

founders, do you ever switch off?

Interesting how best ideas, new clients, and unexpected opportunities show up when I’m away from my desk. Maybe the most productive thing one can do sometimes is to stop working.

We added a new Discover endpoint to @socialcrawldev. One use case: finding creators for a demo across TikTok, YouTube and Instagram 🔎 The workflow: > describe the creators you’re looking for > add relevant search keywords > choose your market and follower range > review the creators and the content that matched your brief If location matters, review the country evidence too. Start automating social media research with @socialcrawldev

watching someone trying to explain an AI answer they clearly haven’t read is hilariously absurd

hot take: marketing only works when you know your user not your product

Hacker house vibes today 🏡 Nothing beats building with the team in person.

new view new perspective new ideas where do your best ideas come from?

Humans make mistakes. Why do we expect AI not to?

I overhear people talking about AI everywhere. AI isn’t a “tech conversation” anymore. It’s become a part of everyday conversation now.

landed in Korea 🇰🇷 turns out being 8 hours ahead of Europe is a productivity hack. quiet mornings and just getting things done while everyone is asleep. where are you working from today?

give a f*ck about people. remember what they told you, ask how it went, help when there’s nothing in it for you.

founder pov: working from every possible wifi connection fixing a few bugs before takeoff ✈️
